McCain has highest upside of any candidate

Rasmussen Reports:

Thirty-four percent (34%) of all voters say they will definitely vote for John McCain if he is on the ballot this November. Thirty-three percent (33%) will definitely vote against him while 29% say their support hinges on who his opponent is.

Barack Obama has the same number who will definitely vote for him--34%. But, more people are committed to voting against him than McCain. Forty-three percent (43%) say they will definitely reject him at the ballot box. For 18%, their support depends on his opponent.

For Hillary Clinton, 32% will definitely vote for her if she is on the ballot and 46% will definitely vote against. Core opposition to Clinton, the best-known of the candidates as the long campaign season began, hovered in the high 40s through most of the past year.

...

If McCain can define Obama for the liberal loser he is, he can drive up his negatives and bring in the independents. One thing McCain needs to do is have a minimum of debates. The CNN polling in Texas shows significant movement for Obama after the debate with Clinton here.

McCain's people need to find a way to cut through the charisma and snark that has been so successful for Obama so far. The best way to do that is with specifics which demonstrate his naiveté and ignorance.
